The Hot List: 20 Must-Have Pieces, According to Instagram’s Favorite Fashion Sourcer

Speaking of the runway, I noticed one overarching theme as I was putting together this month’s list: a lot of this month’s most-wanted pieces are runway styles. These Chloé boots, which I personally own and can vouch they are the most comfortable thigh-high boots I have ever put on, dominated the fall 2024 runway. Another key style is the Loewe belted leather trimmed cotton shirt, which I’m betting strongly that this will be a sold out runway style.

In addition to that, I’m calling this a “suede fall.” We’re going to be seeing a lot of suede, in a variety of forms—from blazers to bags to miniskirts. Are you ready for it? I certainly am! Without further ado, let’s jump into this month’s list.

The thigh-high boots that I can personally vouch are the most comfortable boots I have ever worn. Crafted from leather, and spotted in a multitude of looks on the fall 2024 runway, Chloé has shown that the styling options are endless. I personally tucked this skirt into mine—boho chic for the win!

Another trending style that is sure to sell out, this style features built-in shorts and and has sheer finish. It is beautifully elegant and the mauve color way is the perfect shade to transition you into fall. I spot a couple of sizes left ready to be snatched up.

Leave it up to Loewe to present to us a very unique take on the classic white button-down. Featuring a built-in leather belt at the side and gathered bubble hem, and just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, it was also produced in pink. It won’t be long before we see ‘sold out’ on this style.

While I was in New York, I popped into the Renggli event to celebrate the brand’s launch on FWRD. Morgan Stewart was wearing this exact jacket and I can say with the certainty that a) if she’s wearing it and b) it’s suede, it is guaranteed to be a sold-out style. This is the jacket of the season that we all need.

A popular style in my requests folder of late, The Row Pierrick Jacket takes influence from the traditional utility jacket. The utility jacket is in my personal opinion, the must-have item for the season ahead. I’m seeing it trending, and my sourcing requests are only increasing for them (more on that below). I wouldn’t hesitate in securing this style whilst you can.

I posted this style on our @gabwallerdotcom Instagram stories a couple of weeks ago, as part of our “Finds” series that we regularly post (we received our first request for it approximately 19 days ago). In an instant, the requests came flowing in. It is our most sourced and sold jacket style in one week, I truly mean it when I say the utility jacket is here to have its moment this season.

Every season without fail there is a shearling sandal that makes an appearance into my DMss and causes a stir. This year, my prediction is for these leather and shearling -lined sandals from Chloé. Already showing low in stock in multiple sizes, they’re not to be missed out on.

Khaite does it again, with a style that is already showing sold out across a multitude of websites (I’m certainly not surprised). It features a grid of exquisite textures (including this season’s favorite—suede!), and includes a zip-top pouch for essentials. It was produced in three different color options, but the Rouge Noir Multi Leather is the one to snap up now before it’s too late.

A bold statement to make, but this may just be the bag of the season. A style that is selling out quicker than I anticipated, it’s the perfect travel tote for any upcoming travel plans that you may have. The leather detailing on the side is the ultimate finishing touch.

Fall is upon us, and velvet is back! Ballet flats aren’t going anywhere any time soon and if you wish to bring this shoe style into the fall season, a velvet option is the way to go. Those dreaded words of “low stock” and “last piece” are already showing up, it won’t be long before that changes to “sold out.”

If the color alone didn’t catch your eye, the heel height may do so. The Vika Knot style is a beautifully chic mule that you can grab for any and all occasions for the season ahead. Shoe styles by The Row are known to be exceptionally comfortable (and known to sell out quickly!). They get my definite tick of approval.

It caught my attention immediately, and I had to place it on my radar right away. It sold out very quickly on a particular multi-brand website, and I anticipate for sales to increase in this style in the coming weeks. I truly love how versatile it is, beyond chic and an excellent daily work bag. I want to be carrying this into the office every single day.

I’m sure it won’t come as any surprise that the Coach Empire Carryall Bag in the Size 40 has made it into this month’s list. It is trending heavily, selling out quickly, and is (surprisingly!) available now in the Black and Maple. As a sourcing insight, the Merlot color has been my most requested.

I perhaps may be getting ahead of myself by taking inspiration from the Spring 2025 runways, but pink is ALL OVER the runways. If you wish to be a few steps ahead of the upcoming trending color 2025 color, my recommendation is to secure your pink pieces now. This style by Alaïa, who I will add was the talk of NYFW, is my top pick. A unique and beautiful twist on a classic sweater.

If you’re looking for the perfect pair of suede ankle boots this season, look no further than Jimmy Choo. Not only are they one of the most comfortable shoes in the market (a bold but true statement to make), they are timeless and versatile—you can wear them for many years to come. The Alizee is my favorite for the fall season, and it’s already showing low stock.

Proenza Schouler’s NYFW spring 2025 runway show was everything I imagined it to be. Chic, elegant, timeless—the list goes on! Post show, I did a deep dive into the new collection and was struck by these shearling flats. The Mary Jane style continues to trend, and I love the introduction of a shearling style for this season. We better be quick, they have (already!) almost sold out.

This is very much a “if you know, you know” piece, with the collar constructed of Bottega Veneta’s iconic signature intrecciato leather. Produced in both burgundy and black, I anticipate both to be bestsellers this season.

A fall 2024 runway style that gained instant interest as it walked. This is Miu Miu’s interpretation of the little black dress, and I am very much sold! I personally love the bow detail and the length of this style. Sexy, but elegant. It truly doesn’t get any better than that.

Toteme can do no wrong. At an excellent price point, this new suede tote bag by Toteme is a guaranteed favorite. It has a hook fastening, adjustable shoulder strap, and internal lock pockets. All key details that are important when choosing a new go-to tote.

I’m finishing with one more Chloé piece, it really is the brand that has captivated the fall 2024 season (the runway was one of my most memorable). Styled with multiple looks on the runway, the cone-shaped heels are inspired by the house’s ‘70s archives. A treasured piece, ready to be secured now.

August

I can’t believe I’m typing these words, but I’m very much ready for fall and the cooler weather to come our way. That’s a bold statement to make, considering how much I love summer and thrive being in the sun. There is something about the fall season that makes me feel an extra sense of excitement. Perhaps it’s the richer colors we tend to see at this time of the year, or the reintroduction of textures such as suede and shearling in our wardrobes. Either way, fall is right around the corner, and I’m ready for it.
